So, why is it that whenever I
preview a composed post in any of my browsers, (choosing to post as plain text)

I have to admit I've had my own share of difficulty with this. The worst part
seems to be that it's random. Using Mozilla, I hit "preview" on a post, and
occasionally, it wraps text very oddly. Then, without changing anything, I'll

Seemingly no discernable pattern, otherwise I'd try and investigate further.
Next time I catch it happening, I'll try and grab the raw HTML as I'm going and
track it down.

(URL) always just felt too stupid to ask about it, but my misery has gone on too long, and I've tried altering many variables. So, why is it that whenever I (...)
